A frustration-free local Hamiltonian has the property that its ground state minimises the energy of all local terms simultaneously. In general, even deciding whether a Hamiltonian is frustration-free is a hard task, as it is closely related…

Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) is a probabilistic tool that allows us to prove the existence of combinatorial objects in the cases when standard probabilistic argument does not work (there are many partly independent conditions). LLL can be…

We define a natural conceptual framework in which a generalization of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma can be established in quantum probability theory.
We study the local indistinguishability problem of quantum states. By introducing an easily calculated quantity, non-commutativity, we present an criterion which is both necessary and sufficient for the local indistinguishability of a…
We develop tools for analyzing focused stochastic local search algorithms. These are algorithms which search a state space probabilistically by repeatedly selecting a constraint that is violated in the current state and moving to a random…
This paper completes a previous work by constructing a class of positive-energy relativistic spatial localization observables in Minkowski spacetime within quantum field theory, using the stress-energy-momentum tensor smeared with suitable…
We report a cluster of results on k-QSAT, the problem of quantum satisfiability for k-qubit projectors which generalizes classical satisfiability with k-bit clauses to the quantum setting. First we define the NP-complete problem of product…
Precise rules are developed in order to formalize the reasoning processes involved in standard non-relativistic quantum mechanics, with the help of analogies from classical physics. A classical or quantum description of a mechanical system…

We provide a necessary condition that a quantum measurement can be implemented by the class of protocols known as Local Operations and Classical Communication, or LOCC, including when an error is allowed but must vanish in the limit of an…
The local Hamiltonian (LH) problem, the quantum analog of the classical constraint satisfaction problem, is a cornerstone of quantum computation and complexity theory. It is known to be QMA-complete, indicating that it is challenging even…
Quantum satisfiability is a constraint satisfaction problem that generalizes classical boolean satisfiability. In the quantum k-SAT problem, each constraint is specified by a k-local projector and is satisfied by any state in its nullspace.…
We study the problem of sampling an approximately uniformly random satisfying assignment for atomic constraint satisfaction problems i.e. where each constraint is violated by only one assignment to its variables. Let $p$ denote the maximum…
